Use the image to answer the question.
A line from top left to bottom right intersects two parallel lines that extend from bottom left to top right. The intersection with the first parallel line is labeled A. The intersection with the second parallel line is labeled B.
Determine whether the two angle measurements can be supplementary if m∠A=37° and m∠B=143° . What is the reasoning behind the answer?

No, the two angle measurements cannot be supplementary. Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees. In this case, if m∠A is 37 degrees and m∠B is 143 degrees, their sum would be 37 + 143 = 180 degrees. Therefore, the two angles are supplementary.
